Easy Glider,
I agree the salaries and benefits that pilots working for low fare/low cost carriers are not as good as the legacy carriers, I think that all pilots deserve $300,000 a year, but the economics are just not there to support these kind of salaries right now.
The fact is that the fundamentals are changing and sooner or later we will all be working for "Low cost" carriers, the term just won't apply because they will all be low cost. Wether you agree with this or not is irrelavent, it's just the way it is. Besides, for the time being, we still have a choice.
